C144

In Wen Yahan's room, Xuanyuan Zhiling was sitting beside his bed.

"How is it? Have you gotten used to living here for the past few days?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice had never been so gentle before, and his eyes were like clear water that could be seen to the bottom.

"As long as you're here, there's nothing to get used to."

Wen Yahan hugged Xuanyuan Zhiling's arm, and shook it coquettishly, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Zhiling then took the opportunity to hug Wen Yahan in his arms and stroke her long hair.

"I know that you are very tired from coming all the way from the Soaring Wind Kingdom. Rest well.

He could clearly see the light that was flickering in Wen Yahan's eyes.

The moment he walked out of Wen Yahan's room, the smile on his face instantly cooled down to nothing.

"How is the investigation I asked you to do?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling asked in an extremely low voice as he walked.

His subordinate lowered his head and followed Xuanyuan Zhiling in an extremely respectful manner.

"Reporting to Your Highness, everything has been ascertained."

After Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, his face instantly revealed traces of a proud smile.

"Tell me about it."

There was no emotion in the voice.

"After this Wen Yahan failed to assassinate the Emperor last time and returned to the Soaring Wind Kingdom, she received a lot of cold treatment. Her father felt that she had lost all her face due to the Soaring Wind Kingdom and also failed to live up to the years of nurturing her.

Xuanyuan Zhiling immediately understood what was being said.

"So she escaped?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling stopped in his tracks, the expression on his face somewhat tense.

"Yes, I think the reason she came this time around is to have a seat in our Phantom Fire Kingdom."

As his subordinate spoke till this point, Xuanyuan Zhiling already understood everything.

"What a shameless woman. She still dares to come. I'll leave her with no return."

Xuanyuan Zhiling started walking in the direction of Qin Feng's room.

"Qin Feng, Qin Feng?"

The moment Xuanyuan Zhiling opened the door, he shouted Qin Feng's name.

The room was empty, not even a trace of human life.

"Where's the wangfei? Weren't you all watching the wangfei the whole time?! "

Xuanyuan Zhiling was furious, he ran out of the door and grabbed the two guards' collars, then lifted them up and asked fiercely.

"In reply to your highness, wangfei really hasn't taken even half a step outside the door, but we've been … we've always been on guard …"

Both guards insisted that they had not left.

"You didn't leave for even half a step, so why is the princess gone?!"

Xuanyuan Zhiling shouted, scaring the two guards so much that they kneeled on the ground in panic.

"Prince, we servants deserve to die, but we really didn't see the wangfei walk out."

The two guards kowtowed to Xuanyuan Zhiling one by one, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.

Xuanyuan Zhiling brought the two guards into the room. His sharp eyes swept across the room like a fierce eagle.

"Search him now, I don't believe that he will disappear without a trace!"

With Xuanyuan Zhiling's order, the two guards did not dare delay in the slightest, and started to search Qin Feng's room.

They rummaged through the boxes until they found Qin Feng's cabinet. There was an extremely hidden passageway that they had spent a great deal of effort to find.

"Your Highness, it looks like the wangfei escaped through this tunnel."

The two guards were already sweating profusely, but they still heaved a sigh of relief. If not for finding out the reason for Qin Feng's disappearance, their heads would have moved.

Xuanyuan Zhiling came to the front of the cabinet, and knocked on the floor of the cabinet. The hollow sound came out, and it was really empty underneath.

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed slightly, his eyes revealed traces of sorrow.

This Qin Feng was really cunning to the extreme, even Xuanyuan Zhiling did not know there was a tunnel here, how did she, Qin Feng, know about it?

"Your Highness, what should we do now? Should we capture the wangfei immediately? "

Two guards were respectfully waiting by Xuanyuan Zhiling's side.

"Right now, get the princess back. If you can't, then don't come back!"

Xuanyuan Zhiling roared, his face completely red, because his woman, Qin Feng, was gone.

After leaving, Xuanyuan Zhiling's emotions were extremely complicated, but he did not reveal it on his face.

"Butler, arrange something for me. I will write a letter and you can bring it to the palace for the emperor."

Xuanyuan Zhiling came to the study room and quickly wrote a letter and passed it to the butler.

"Tell father that I, Xuanyuan Zhiling, will marry Wen Yahan."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression instantly became unsightly, the butler thought that Xuanyuan Zhiling was just throwing a tantrum after seeing such a situation.

"My prince, what about the wangfei if we do this?"

The butler never cared about Xuanyuan Zhiling's matters, nor did he offend Xuanyuan Zhiling, even if Xuanyuan Zhiling was an old butler now.

"You don't need to worry about the matter of the wangfei, this prince naturally has his ways."

For some reason, when he thought of that name, his heart ached. Just where had she run off to?

Arriving at Wen Yahan's room, even though Xuanyuan Zhiling was in a bad mood, he tried his best to appear happy.

"Your Highness, you've come. I've only not seen you for a short while, so I can't help but think of you."

Wen Yahan's charming mouth could act coquettishly, but Xuanyuan Zhiling had never played this game before.

"Ya Han, I've already asked the father. We're going to get married soon."

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, his expression was somewhat complicated, but Wen Yahan did not notice it, and excitedly bounced up from the bed.

"Really? I love you so much, but … "

The excited Wen Yahan a moment ago suddenly turned gloomy, her eyes lowered as if she had thought of something.

"But what? Aren't you happy to marry me? "

Xuanyuan Zhiling slightly raised his eyebrows, and picked up Wen Yahan's chin, his face had a complex expression.

Wen Yahan pouted, looking like she wanted to say something but was unable to.

"The previous time's poison from the Lich Gu was obviously done by that Xuanyuan Mocheng, I …"

When Wen Yahan said till here, she was already anxious to the point that her eyes were filled with sparkling and translucent tears.

"I understand. Are you worried that the father still hates you?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling had already known that this woman would be like this, but he had already arranged everything beforehand.

"Your Highness, it seems like you understand my heart."

Wen Yahan then slipped into Xuanyuan Zhiling's embrace once again. The little bird's appearance was extremely pitiful, but it had a stomach full of malicious water.

"It doesn't matter. I'll handle this matter."

Xuanyuan Zhiling patted Wen Yahan's back to show her consolation, and said with confidence.

"Ya Han is really foolish. She actually forgot that the prince is now the crown prince. The emperor will definitely believe in one of the crown prince's words."

As Wen Yahan said this, she jumped up and planted a kiss on Xuanyuan Zhiling's cheek.

Even though he felt so disgusted that he was about to die, Xuanyuan Zhiling still had to show a pleasant surprise at this kiss.

"Your Highness, Ya Han has something that she wishes to request of Your Highness."

Wen Yahan's expression changed slightly as a complicated expression quickly flashed across her eyes.

"Tell me! As long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently, as he stared at Wen Yahan with gentleness in his eyes.

"Ya Han knows that the prince treats me well, but …"

Wen Yahan hesitated again. Just as Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to ask what was going on, suddenly, Wen Yahan reached out and firmly grabbed onto Xuanyuan Zhiling's waist.

"Ya Han only wants to be Prince's woman, but ever since Ya Han entered the Prince's mansion, she hasn't touched Ya Han. Could it be because Ya Han isn't beautiful enough?!"

Wen Yahan's mood suddenly became agitated.

"Ya Han, listen to me, this isn't the reason."

Xuanyuan Zhiling cupped Wen Yahan's face and moved his lips closer to hers. Instantly, the two's lips were entangled together and Wen Yahan finally calmed down and no longer made any noise.

Xuanyuan Zhiling frowned slightly. When he opened his eyes and saw Wen Yahan happily tasting his lips, Xuanyuan Zhiling felt disgusted, but he was a man after all. His resistance towards women was limited.

"Ya Han, rest well here. I'll send someone to take good care of you."

Before Xuanyuan Zhiling left, he did not care about Wen Yahan's pettiness, and left right after.

As he walked, Xuanyuan Zhiling heard the sound of a vase breaking, and a woman's crying coming from the room behind him.

"Prince, do you really intend to marry this woman? "But she …"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's underling, who could be considered Xuanyuan Zhiling's trusted aide, asked with some difficulty.

"It is because she had previously harmed father that I must punish her properly this time. I must use her to complete my plan."

Xuanyuan Zhiling talked as he walked, but there was not a single trace of emotion in his expression.

"But what about the wangfei?"

"Did you find the wangfei? I also have another reason for doing this, which is to force Qin Feng out to see me. "

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he clenched his fists tightly.

"My apologies, Your Highness. Even now, the location of the wangfei is still unknown."

Her subordinates lowered their heads, not daring to speak another word, thinking that if Qin Feng did not find them, their heads would fall off anytime.

"Continue searching. You must also find Qin Feng at least three feet underground."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's tone carried an extremely strong determination and his face was overcast.

"If you can't find Qin Feng, then none of you should come back."

With that said, Xuanyuan Zhiling left while his subordinate wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Inside the hall, Xuanyuan Yufeng, who had rushed over after hearing Feng, walked in front of Xuanyuan Zhiling with a face full of worry.

"Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you? I heard you're going to marry Wen Yahan again? "

When Xuanyuan Yufeng heard this news, he could not believe his own ears. Was his Fourth Brother a little too stupid, clearly knowing that Wen Yahan had ill intentions, yet still wanted to marry her?

"That's right, I want to marry Wen Yahan."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's resolute voice allowed Xuanyuan Yufeng to understand that this was not a rumor.

When Xuanyuan Yufeng heard of this news, his first reaction was that the person who spread the rumors was a first stage minister in the imperial court. At that time, he almost had his neck broken by Xuanyuan Yufeng.

"But, but what about Qin Feng?!"

Xuanyuan Yufeng had to admit, the first person he thought of was Qin Feng.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression, which was originally calm, suddenly became somewhat gloomy.

"Qin Feng? Don't you know where Qin Feng is? "

At one point, Xuanyuan Zhiling suspected that Xuanyuan Yufeng had saved Qin Feng, so there was some meaning behind his tone.

"What's wrong? Fourth Brother, what do you mean by that? "

Xuanyuan Yufeng was confused. Could it be that Qin Feng was not in the Duke Palaces?

"You said that Qin Feng is not in the Duke Palaces? Then where did Qin Feng go? "

Xuanyuan Yufeng's heart immediately tensed up, and he stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling nervously.

"She's not at the palace. She escaped through the tunnel in her room."

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed lightly, his tone carrying a bit of sorrow.

Not knowing whether or not it should be like this, Xuanyuan Yufeng was actually slightly relieved to hear this, if Qin Feng did not escape, wouldn't she have to face that bad woman everyday?

"Fourth Brother, I can understand Qin Feng. She left because she was angry at me, but you actually want to marry a wicked woman."

Xuanyuan Yufeng said with a relaxed expression. Xuanyuan Zhiling was a little unhappy when he saw his expression.

"I have my reasons. I will definitely marry this woman."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's tone was filled with determination, causing his entire body to tremble. He did not expect Xuanyuan Zhiling to actually be serious.
